Sponsored by Mobil 1 – mobil.com/en/lubricants
Hybrid vehicles are a great solution to improving fuel economy, but they have their own unique challenges. Because hybrid engines start & stop frequently, this often results in lower engine temperatures, which in turn can create issues with water and fuel dilution. Frequent start/stops, water, and fuel, can all create problems that exacerbate engine wear.
To combat this, Mobil 1 has developed Mobil 1 hybrid, a full synthetic motor oil that is designed to meet the challenges that hybrid vehicles place on engines. This video will focus on three main subjects: how hybrids work, why hybrids are hard on engines, and what solutions exist to combat these challenges.

Does fast charging your electric car ruin the battery? It’s obvious that for convenience, and for those that can’t charge at home, the ability to fast charge a battery is critical for electric cars to be widely viable. But, studies repeatedly show that the faster your charging rate, the more degradation a battery has, which naturally raises the following questions that we’ll break down:
1. Does a faster charging rate degrade a battery faster?
2. Why does faster charging degrade a battery faster?
3. What practical solutions exist to prevent battery degradation from fast charging?
4. Do you need to actually think about it, or is it fine to regularly use fast chargers?

Check out the Continental TrueContact Tour54: bit.ly/4dis0aY
Big thanks to Continental for sponsoring this video!
The instant a tire meets the road, it triggers one of the most complex interactions that occurs in the realm of automotive engineering. Not only how a tire generates grip, but even more so how it wears, is a wildly complicated and equally fascinating subject. This video will provide clarity on the subject of tire wear.
I spent time at multiple Continental proving grounds, on various test tracks, and had discussions with quite a few engineers, to help answer the following questions:
1. What is tire wear, and how does it work?
2. What are the main contributing factors to tire wear?
3. What is the ideal vehicle for minimizing tire wear?
4. How can you design a tire to last a long time?
5. What do you know how long a tire will last?
6. Could a tire last 100,000 miles?
The tire we’ll use to help answer these questions is the TrueContact Tour54, which is Continental’s longest lasting tire sold today, with up to an 80,000 mile warranty.

Lamborghini has ditched their naturally aspirated V10 engine in favor of a twin-turbocharged V8 engine. But it’s not just any turbo V8, it’s one of the highest revving turbo V8 engines the production car world has ever seen, reaching 10,000 RPM. I spoke with Rouven Mohr, Lamborghini’s chief technical officer, to learn all about the new Lamborghini Temerario and the potent power plant inside of it. In this video, we’ll discuss the following questions:
1. Why use a turbocharged V8 instead of a naturally aspirated V10?
2. How much power does the Temerario make?
3. What’s so special about this new V8 engine?
4. How can a turbocharged V8 rev to 10,000 RPM?

Electric cars are becoming increasingly popular, but a common concern remains for many owners - what about the battery? Most batteries used in electric cars today come with one of two major chemistries: Nickel Manganese Cobalt (NMC) or Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP). LFP batteries are rising in popularity as they're cheaper to manufacturer, and more sustainable since they use more common materials. Each chemistry has unique properties, and benefits from specific best practices, as it relates to making the battery last for a long time. This video will look at the latest research and discuss four major best practices for LFP batteries when it comes to capacity retention and longevity.

Red Bull has created a masterpiece of engineering: the RB17! From one of Formula 1's greatest minds, Adrian Newey, comes an all new track car with a 4.5L naturally aspirated V10 engine with a screaming high 15,000 RPM redline. Newey says the track-only hypercar will be capable of lap times as fast as a Formula 1 car, thanks to 1,200 horsepower and extraordinary levels of downforce. The downforce is no surprise, considering Adrian Newey is known for his aerodynamic marvels. In this case? Perhaps the largest diffuser the world has ever seen! The 1,200 horsepower is thanks to a combination of combustion (1,000 horsepower) and electric (200 horsepower). This video dives into the engineering details, including the engine, the hybrid system, the weight, and the aerodynamics.

Why 2026 F1 Engines Make Less Power - youtu.be/KxDQBVzXWt4
Subscribe to Engineering Explained for more videos! - goo.gl/VZstk7
Formula 1 teams are concerned that the cars are going to be too slow in 2026; this is because an all new ruleset goes into effect which has major changes. The cars will have less combustion power, and more power will come from the electric motor. This shift will create energy challenges, so the cars will have less aerodynamic drag and less downforce - that does save energy, but it also means slower cornering speeds. But, not to fear, the new cars have more horsepower, not less, so they'll definitely be quicker, right? Well, we'll have to do a little math to find out. Enjoy!

The wraps are off the new Bugatti Tourbillon, and it's rather incredible. 1,800 horsepower is delivered through the combination of an 8.3L naturally aspirated V16 engine, as well as three electric motors. Two up front, with one in the back, and ability to run ICE-only, meaning a 1,000 HP naturally aspirated RWD experience. In this video we'll cover four main topics:
1) What are the specifications of the new Bugatti Tourbillon?
2) Why did Bugatti choose to go naturally aspirated?
3) Why did Bugatti choose a V16 over their W16 engine?
4) What is the Tourbillon's top speed?
While the Tourbillon is limited to 445 km/h, it's capable of more. But how much more? Is 500 km/h possible? We'll discuss!

The Porsche 911 GTS has a new hybrid powertrain, and it’ll convince you to go hybrid over the GTS’ previous 3.0L twin-turbo engine. The benefits are extraordinary, with more torque, a wider torque curve, more horsepower, and better response in all driving situations. Not only does electrification mean more immediate torque, but an electric turbocharger also means boost arrives much more quickly. We’ll compare the new 3.6L boxer six-cylinder engine to the previous 3.0L, and also discuss how Porsche achieved Lambda = 1 in a modern performance engine, an impressive achievement!

Deep dive into how these 4WD systems work, and the advantages of each.
Subscribe to Engineering Explained for more videos! - goo.gl/VZstk7
The Toyota Land Cruiser and the Toyota 4Runner are both highly capable off-road vehicles, but, which one has the better four-wheel-drive system? All Land Cruisers come with Full-Time 4WD, where as most 4Runners come with Part-Time 4WD. In this video we’ll explain exactly how both systems work, what the advantages are of each, and ultimately discuss which system is superior. The Toyota Tacoma has the same 4WD system as the 4Runner, so anything in this video that applies to the 4Runner also applies to the Tacoma.
Once we have a general understanding of how transfer cases work, we'll dive into the following questions:
How does the low range gear selection work?
How does the full-time system create a 40/60 torque split?
How does the Torsen center differential work?
How does the part-time system select 4WD?

Check out the Continental CrossContact LX25: bit.ly/442zj3i
Big thanks to Continental for sponsoring this video!
I have purchased a 2024 Ford Maverick to replace my 2016 Subaru Crosstrek. This is the AWD Lariat with a 2.0L Turbo I4 engine producing 250 HP and 277 lb-ft of torque. It features adaptive cruise control, an upgraded sound system, contrasting leather interior, and a 4.5' bed with a tri-fold hard top cover. There are many reasons this is better than my Crosstrek - power, practicality, interior quality, sound system, functionality, towing capability, cargo capacity - it's a long list! However, there is one major downside - no manual transmission! I will truly miss the Crosstrek (who am I kidding, I won't), but I am excited for the new ride that's entered my fleet (of two cars)!

A performance EV with drift mode, shift mode, and variable torque split!
Subscribe for more videos! - goo.gl/VZstk7
Hyundai's Ioniq 5 N is a fresh new approach to electric performance vehicles. The car is packed with customizable features so the driver can configure the vehicle to their exact preferences. We'll deep dive into ten of these features, summarized below:
1. N Pedal - Developed as a solution to overcome the inherent weight and size of EVs, N Pedal was designed for instant turn-in behavior and enhanced throttle sensitivity, increasing the regenerative force to create a dynamic weight transfer that helps to sharpen corner entry.
2. N Torque Distribution - adjusts the front and rear drive ratio, providing fully variable torque distribution that can be adjusted for eleven levels.
3. N Drift Optimizer (w/ Torque Kick Drift) - helps to maintain the drift angle by balancing multiple vehicle controls. The integrated Torque Kick Drift function allows the driver to simulate the clutch kick action of rear-wheel-drive ICE vehicles for driving scenarios that require more immediate drift initiation.
4. N Grin Boost (NGB) - delivers an instant thrust from IONIQ 5 N’s dual motors by increasing the power output and torque for ten seconds
5. N Launch Control - provides maximum traction for the fastest possible start, allowing the driver to launch their vehicle like a professional race car
6. N Race - utilizes a motorsport-derived philosophy that optimizes resources for the best track experience.
7. N Battery Preconditioning - optimizes the temperature of the battery cells to be as efficient as possible.
8. N e-Shift simulates the behavior of the eight-speed dual-clutch N DCT of ICE N models by controlling the motor's torque output and power and simulating the jolt feeling between shifts. It provides the push feel of a DCT transmission and various levels of simulated engine braking using regeneration. The purpose is to increase driving fun, provide a more interactive driving experience, and deliver the same emotions of an ICE on a racetrack or a windy road.
9. N Active Sound+ - produces three sounds – ‘Ignition’, an ICE N engine and exhaust sound, and two futuristic EV sounds, including ‘Supersonic’, inspired by fighter jets – through eight internal speakers and two external speakers. Drivers can even rev the “engine” when N e-Shift is activated and transmission is in park or neutral.
10. N Road Sense - automatically recommends that the driver activate N Mode when double-curved road signs are detected. This lets the driver enjoy even more driving fun.
Honorable mention: e-LSD - The electronic Limited Slip Differential (e-LSD) controls the amount of torque sent to the rear wheels, enhances handling performance when turning at high speeds, and improves wheel-slip compensation. This is a real, mechanical differential with e-hydraulic locking action for the rear motor!

Why Liquid Hydrogen Engines Don't Work - youtu.be/DGL5g91KwLA
Subscribe to Engineering Explained for more videos! - goo.gl/VZstk7
Can Toyota save the combustion engine? They’re one of few companies to develop a liquid-hydrogen engine. You get all the noise and excitement of a gas engine, without the carbon emissions. How does it work? Liquid hydrogen is stored in a tank at -253 degrees Celsius. That hydrogen is pumped into a vaporizer, turning into a gas, where it is eventually pumped all the way to the engine cylinders, operating much like a gasoline engine would.

Does Engine Start-Stop Work? - youtu.be/dFImHhNwbJo
Subscribe to Engineering Explained for more videos! - goo.gl/VZstk7
Engine start-stop is a technology designed to reduce fuel consumption, by shutting off the engine at stop-lights. But does this tech actually do anything? Obviously, an idling engine uses fuel, while an engine that’s off does not. But restarting that engine does use fuel. So which one has more of an impact? Well a study published in SAE tested exactly this, as well as real world test drives to see the impact. The results are surprising!

4WD vs AWD Detailed Explanation - youtu.be/Jk246sutET0
Subscribe to Engineering Explained for more videos! - goo.gl/VZstk7
What's the difference between 4WD and AWD? It comes down to choice. If the driver can choose to put the car in two-wheel drive, but can also select four-wheel drive as an option, that’s 4WD. This is common on trucks and large SUVs; a transfer case allows you to select where the power goes. If the driver doesn’t have a choice, but the vehicle still sends power to all four wheels, this is AWD. This system is always active, and is more commonly found on cars and crossovers. Both AWD & 4WD have pros and cons, to learn more, check out my related videos below!

How Does The Bugatti W16 Engine Work - youtu.be/0kKo4Zw9ynw
Subscribe to Engineering Explained for more videos! - goo.gl/VZstk7
Bugatti is bringing a V16 engine to their lineup, with more details to be released later in 2024. The Bugatti Chiron successor will sport a V16 hybrid powertrain, with rumors that it's a Cosworth 8.3L naturally aspirated V16, producing 1,000 horsepower and revving to 9,000 RPM. If the rumors are to be believed, it will also be paired with three 250kW electric motors, for a potent AWD system with blistering acceleration.
But, who cares about rumors, right? What are the facts? In this video, we'll dive into the images shared by Bugatti, to get a deeper understanding of the engineering behind this V16 combustion engine. We'll talk torque curves, firing intervals, firing order, V-angles, crossplane vs flatplane, balance, and see how the rumors hold up to a little math.

Tesla doesn't hit 60 in under two seconds - youtu.be/i7yigpPSu_o
Subscribe to Engineering Explained for more videos! - goo.gl/VZstk7
Elon Musk wouldn’t try to deceive you, would he? Well unfortunately Tesla 0-60 times are a bit misleading. For example, Tesla shows a 0-60 in 1.99 seconds on their website for the Model S Plaid, or 3.1 seconds if you opt for the dual motor AWD Model S. But if you click “feature details” a box pops up, informing you that the Plaid’s time is with the first foot of rollout subtracted. But the standard S doesn’t apply this practice. So in reality, the Plaid’s true 0-60 is greater than 1.99 seconds, and the gap in performance between the two Model S’s is not as wide as it seems. And this is true for Tesla’s other Performance models as well. They use different 0-60 methods for different models, altering your perception of the gap in performance.

Driving 215 MPH in A McLaren 720S - youtu.be/mGM4ASvcm6M
Subscribe to Engineering Explained for more videos! - goo.gl/VZstk7
If you limit yourself to fuel you can find at any gas pump, and the air we live and breathe, and the four-strokes engines that most vehicles operate on, there are really three fundamental ways to increase the amount of power an engine produces.
- Displacement
- RPM
- Pressure (Forced Induction/Boost)
Arguably, there are many, many ways you can alter how much power an engine makes, but ultimately, it’s a matter of getting as much air as possible, and combining it with the right amount of fuel, and these are the big ways to make that happen. So the key metric we’re looking at: how much air do we have to work with? In this video we'll look at each of the three methods, the advantages and disadvantages, as well as examples of engines that use each method to their advantage.
All of this while driving the McLaren 750S, and absolute powerhouse of a supercar cranking out 740 horsepower from a twin-turbo 4.0L V8 revving to 8,500 RPM. I'll test drive the McLaren on some of Nevada's finest roads, as well as at a race track in Las Vegas.

"Granny-shifting, not double clutching like you should!" You've heard the line, but what the heck does it mean? If you want to be like Dominic Toretto, you'll need to watch this video. Double clutching is the practice of using two full clutch in/out cycles per shift, in order to match the engine speed to the transmission speed and allow for a smooth shift. But do you actually need to do it? Nope! Modern manual transmissions use synchronizers, so this practice hasn't been necessary for decades.

During Tesla's Cybertruck delivery event, they showcased the Cybertruck performing stunts to show it's performance capabilities versus the competition. One of those stunts was a drag race against a Porsche 911, while *towing* a Porsche 911. Insane, yes! Elon Musk claimed “it can tow a Porsche 911 across the 1/4 mile faster than the Porsche 911 can go by itself" after showing a clip of it beating a Porsche 911 in an 1/8th mile drag race. Fair statement? Not exactly.
This video seeks to answer the question: which car is really faster in the 1/4 mile, a 2023 Porsche 911, or Tesla's Cybertruck towing a 911? We'll use real world data, along with some math to find the answer.

The Porsche 911 S/T is the best car I've ever driven, and I don't say that lightly. It's a pure driver's car through and through, with a very clear purpose executed perfectly. What makes it such an exceptional driver? The Porsche 911 GT3 is a solid staring point - 911 GT3 RS - even better. But the GT3 RS is the ultimate track going Porsche. Transform it into the ultimate road going Porsche, and you end up with the 911 S/T.
The 911 S/T is special - very special, and the video dives into all the cool technical changes that make it work. From the 6-speed manual only transmission, to the lightweight single-mass flywheel & clutch, to the 4.0L boxer engine lifted from the GT3 RS, to the magnesium wheels, it does everything to make the car lighter, more powerful, and as exciting of a road car as you can get. Bravo Porsche - now make more of them!

Snow covered roads tend to create a debate surrounding snow tires and all-wheel drive – is it all really necessary? In this video we’ll compare summer, all-season, and winter tires performance in the snow, and also discuss the purpose and merits of all-wheel drive. All-wheel drive combined with winter tires can provide confident driving in harsh winter conditions. But what about electric cars? Winter tires pose a unique challenge to electric cars, as they are generally louder, which is more noticeable in EVs. Winter tires also tend to have higher rolling resistance, which reduces your range in an EV. Finally, winter tires use softer compounds, meaning more wear when used by a heavy EV. To maximize winter performance, compromise is inevitable, but Hankook seeks to combat these challenges with their latest tire offering, the iON i*cept winter tire, designed specifically for EVs.

Subscribe to Engineering Explained for more videos! - goo.gl/VZstk7
1,000 horsepower is nothing new in the world of Formula 1. In fact, back in the early 2000's, 3.0L naturally aspirated V10 engines were cranking out 1,000 horsepower at 20,000 RPM, without the assistance of electric motors or turbochargers like the 1.6L engines used today. This video seeks to pull back the curtain on the magic behind the glory days of F1 engines. We'll focus on numerous questions:
1. Are the V10 engines as impressive as they seem?
2. How do they hold up to modern standards?
3. What allows them to make so much power?
4. How do they differ versus production car engines?
5. Do the engines need to be relevant to road cars, with synthetic fuel coming?

When MotorTrend tested the Model S Plaid in 2021, they broke all production car records. 0-60 in 1.98 seconds — with a long list of unique variables, including a prepared surface with VHT (glue), and deleting the first foot of rollout. Astonishingly, the Lucid can match that number, on a public road! The Lucid Air Sapphire's acceleration is certifiably bonkers.
Jason Fenske and Jason Cammisa will talk through the various systems that make this car possible, and how it achieves such insane results. Questions covered include:
1). Why is the 1,234 HP Lucid so much faster than the 1,111 HP Lucid?
2). Why is the Lucid's 0-60 time (acceleration) faster than its 60-0 time (braking)?

Nothing has ever braked shorter than the Ford Mustang Dark Horse, in the entirety of Motor Trend’s testing. The 5.0L V8 boasts 500 horsepower, meaning the car has both potency and heft, and yet it stops as well as a hypercar. In testing, the Mustang stopped from 60 mph in just 86 feet, nudging out the Porsche 911 GT2 RS, which had the crown for best braking for over 5 years. Who could have guessed it’d be replaced by a muscle car?
In this video, we’ll digest the bonkers stats of such braking prowess, discuss whether it is cool or lame, challenge the notion that braking is limited to the best tires (hello McMurtry Speirling), and look at a deceleration trace of one of the best stopping vehicles that exists. Spoiler, the results aren’t at all what one might expect.

We'll examine five different brake pads to see how they differ internally.
Sponsored By NRS Brakes - http://www.nrsbrakes.com
There are four fundamental elements of brake pad design that play a critical role in brake functionality and safety. Rust protection for the backing plate, how you attach the friction material to the backing plate, the flatness of the backing plate, and the tolerances of the abutment areas, ensuring the pads slide smoothly within the caliper.
In this video, we’re focusing on just one aspect, the attachment of the friction material to the backing plate. We'll inspect five different brake pads: one original equipment, one from NRS Brakes, and three other aftermarket companies. You'll very clearly see the original equipment pads use mechanical attachment, as does NRS, yet two of the aftermarket companies do not.
Mechanical attachment uses hooks to ensure a very secure bond between the friction material and the backing plate, which is especially important for applications that see high heat. Heat can break down adhesives, whereas the mechanical attachment will remain strong. Yes, you can buy brake pads designed for the exact same vehicle, without ever knowing that they don’t feature the technology that the original equipment pads specify.

The 2024 Acura Integra Type S brings back the performance Integra. With 320 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque, the 2.0L turbocharged inline four cylinder is potent and offers a wide spectrum of useable thrust. In this video, we'll dive into why it's so much fun to drive, how it compares to the BMW M2 - yes, I know - just watch, and also compare it to the A-Spec Integra, as well as the Honda Civic Type R. Honda remains the king of front wheel drive!

The BMW M2 is a car for true automotive enthusiasts. Twin-turbo straight-six engine, manual transmission offered, rear wheel drive, and 2-doors. But has the formula changed too much? The 2023 BMW M2 offers more of everything, and not all of it is necessarily wanted. More power, more performance, but also, a lot more weight. We'll discuss six aspects of the BMW M2, to determine whether the car is still exciting: the engine, the transmission, the aesthetics, the price, the weight, and the experience.

Toyota surprised me once again, announcing they've raced with liquid nitrogen in the Fuji 24 Hour race, accomplishing what they claim is the first for any manufacturer. No one has raced with liquid hydrogen! The technology is awesome, as it allows for a lot more hydrogen storage versus gaseous hydrogen (stored at 700 bar). Here, the low pressure liquid must be kept at -253ºC, however, which is quite a challenge.
According to Toyota, this project had three main challenges:
1. Keeping the liquid hydrogen at a very low temperature.
2. Maintaining the efficiency and capacity of the fuel pump.
3. Controlling the pumped liquid hydrogen, as it converts to gas.
We'll also discuss another issue that exist with hydrogen, which is how much space it takes up, despite having a better energy density by mass than gasoline. Unfortunately, the energy density by volume is quite a different story. Check out the video to see if this technology is worth the hype!
